Stoicism has come back in gaining popularity as a way to apply ancient wisdom to everyday life through the work of Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferriss. This is an introduction to stoicism and what it is all about and Rick...

A topic that I used to be very into and had since faded for me but listening to an episode of Freakanomics brought it back to the front of my mind. Do the shoes you wear really matter?

In this Clinical Insight we get back into the discussion and offer so...

Strength and control through the external rotators of the hips and shoulders is something that we lose over the course of time due to many factors. When you revisit it again and see how it is a natural movement that an infant naturally learns and performs it makes you realize just how powerful being effective in this range is. This is a short Clinical/Performance Insight talking about some quick a...

In this Leadership Insight, Rick breaks down the concept of ‘Extreme Ownership’ by Jocko Willink. Jocko isn’t for everyone but we highly recommend at least reading this book and digging into the concepts that Jocko presents. When all else fails Jocko returns to the concept that everything falls on you, the leader, and it should because that is what the role demands. Rick breaks it down with great...

The use of alcohol has been a part of athletics in numerous ways for as long as both have existed.

We live in a world where the extreme seems to be transitioning to the norm and when one extreme idea comes out, someone has to find something as far on the opposite side to counteract it. Now, there may be a time and place for almost any extreme idea, intervention, workout, diet, etc. but for most of us life falls on a bell curve and things happen in the middle. This can be found in fitness, nutri...
